A fundamental theme in Liliana Porter’s work, whether covert or overt, is the elusive and paradoxical nature of time. In Porter’s “To Fix It” series, she situates tiny figures in monumental, impossible tasks of repair. Here a sharply dressed man kneels down with calm and confident resolve to fix a giant—relative to him—broken clock. “Porter uses found objects in a wonderfully idiosyncratic, downright visionary way, creating a profound, humanly searching visual poetry crafted from, among other things, rudimentary hardware and miscellaneous doodads, which she imbues with a curious double identity, at once resolutely quotidian and quietly spectacular.” —Gregory Volk, “A Terrible Simplicity: On the Art of Liliana Porter,” from “Liliana Porter In Conversation with Inés Katzenstein,” Fundación Cisneros, 2013.
